Microsoft Power Automate Process Mining is generally available

We are pleased to announce the general availability of Microsoft Power Automate Process Mining, a new capability that helps you understand business processes in your organization, uncover inefficiencies and bottlenecks, and achieve process optimization. Process and task mining are changing the way businesses optimize their processes, save costs, and discover opportunities to run more efficient business operations. With Power Automate Process Mining, you now can:

  1. Define and measure the business challenges of the process you want to analyze or improve.
  2. Leverage AI to analyze and generate insights to create solutions and automation.
  3. Deliver return on investment (ROI) through action against the insights and establish continuous monitoring and improvement of your processes.

The introduction of process and task mining in Power Automate enables our customers to control their end-to-end automation lifecycle with a single solution. It also comes at a time when companies are seeking ways to improve their business processes, save costs, and do more with less. Customers can effectively do so by acting on insights from Power Automate Process Mining to create optimization solutions using other applications in the Microsoft ecosystem or solutions that they already use today.

Try entitlements for Process Mining for free with the Power Automate trial license.

How Power Automate Process Mining works

Event logs from multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP), customer relationship management (CRM), human resources (HR), and other systems of records, as well as task recordings can be ingested into Power Automate Process Mining. This data is analyzed, and a process model with details of the inner workings of the process is made available to draw insights on and zoom into root causes of the inefficiencies. Recommendations and next best actions to address these inefficiencies are made available to implement along with business intelligence (BI) tools to continually monitor process performance. Optimizations can be continually made, as suggested by Process Mining, to achieve process excellence for both the process at hand as well as other processes, setting up a process excellence flywheel in your organization.
